  Fun to Drive Prius - 2006 Toyota Prius
  By Chaep on Gas - January 25 - 2:36 am

  I just purchased this car a few weeks ago, and I have driven it for over 2000 miles. Very fun car to drive, and for a small car it is pretty spacious. I love the fact, that I can drive in the carpool lane alone. The gas mileage is overrated, I get about 45-47 mpg average, not 60 impg. I guess its still better then the alternative, but not as nice as I thought it will be. Other then that, cool little car.

  I love this car. I love the MPG monitor, it allows you to re-train yourself into better driving habits. If you dont speed, accelerate easily, stop slowly and less often you can get up to 52 MPG. I can go over 430 miles on one tank. If you do this, it is worth the price tag.

  Great car - but be under 65" ! - 2006 Toyota Prius
  By JD - January 1 - 5:53 am

  This is a great car (we get about 53 MPG), but I have difficulty on trips over 3 hours - I am 64" - and do not think anyone taller than me would be comfortable.

  Watch Before You Back Out!! - 2006 Toyota Prius
  By Karl - December 31 - 7:23 am

  Our new Prius is truly outstanding in virtually all respects. However, the hatchback window design makes vehicle reversing a genuine challenge. While a standard onboard TV monitor presents an acceptable view [day or night] of the wide area behind the Prius when shifting into "R," there is no substitute for carefully scanning behind your hybrid. The rear window configuration makes such scanning difficult at best.

  Super saver Prius - 2006 Toyota Prius
  By wayne - December 29 - 2:46 am

  We purchased the Prius in March 2006 trading in a Toyota Avalon. Was concerned about the ride and handling compared to the Avalon. We find that the Prius is equal or better. Love the gas mileage. Now have 18000 miles and not one problem. Its a great car.

  I Love My Prius - 2006 Toyota Prius

  This car is an absolute wonderful experience to drive. I have taken several long road trips with great gas mileage and it is fun to tool around town and the engine never kicks on.

  This is a joy to drive and a fine piece of modern technology. I just am amazed how well the Prius works. I am averaging 50.7 mpg this tank full.

  Ecofriendly in Memphis - 2006 Toyota Prius
  By Craig Jordan - November 10 - 12:00 am

  Our Prius experience has been excellent. Approaching 5 K miles we have averaged 48 MPG overall. The mileage has recently topped 50 MPG in primarily urban driving. The car arrived with no defects and has performed flawlessly. Handling is adequate but not sporty. Heating and air conditioning system is very responsive. Hatchback makes for great flexibility whether carrying people or stuff. My concerns relate mostly to the drivers seat--needs lumbar support, height adjustment capabilities. The car would benefit from GMs oil monitoring technology which bases oil changes on driving and engine conditions rather than mileage. Would certainly buy another Prius!

  Interior Concerns - 2006 Toyota Prius
  By Jask001 - October 26 - 5:23 am

  Great car and lots of fun. I purchased the NL package but I should have considered leather seats because of the current material. It seems to be a velour type material that stains and retains... currently at 45-46 MPG

  The greatest - 2006 Toyota Prius
  By all one needs - October 18 - 5:00 am

  I rate the car an easy 9.4 and should be higher. The Prius is a perfect urban car. Easy to park; very much fun to drive; very comfortable regardless of the weather; and high 40s mpgs. The quirky styling only adds to allure of this well-designed , well-engineered car from Toyota. This is my 2nd Prius and though I tried the Camry Hybrid and the Honda Civic Hybrid the Prius is my overwhelming favorite. Even on very long trips low 50s is not uncommon and the comfort exceeds that of bigger cars. Hooray for Toyota on this one. This car represents to me the epitome of design and engineering. I am a complainer about cars and enjoy griping about this and that. I cant do that with the Prius.
